I don't usually stalk, but I have an early and long day tomorrow and I love this challenge, Jen. Here is my Joy in Us card.

fun challenge I love to paper piece so I am sure I will make more cards for this challenge , here is one for now

I am having a super busy Monday, so I decided to post a card I made for another challenge (I think it was Friday's but I did it Saturday). I water colored the solid stamped leaf images, spritzed with water and after they dried cut them out. The acorns are stamped with chalk ink and water colored in. I used pop dots to make some of the leaves "pop" off the cards.

I am fighting with my scanner....it "previews" the cards beautifully, then when it scans everything comes out blue-ish. So I've been using my phone to take the pics, hence the washed out fuzziness. My apologies.

I must be blind, because I am not seeing piercing on any one of these cards. You are talking about traditional piercing right? like you would do around a corner or something? Because I don't see it on any of the cards I have just looked at, and I looked at about 10 so far.

I can't believe this technique hasn't been a CAS challenge before! Great idea Miss Boo!

If you look closely at the challenge you'll see that it is paper piecing, not piercing. It is easy to confuse the two. :wink: I've done the same thing myself before.

This is a great challenge- paper piecing is what I just love to do! I left off all the bangles and beads, and went with a burlap and twine background. I have the stamp "Jack trio" from PSX stamp company and a little chick, probably from a Hero Arts mini stamp tub. The boy and girl (SU's Greeting Card Kids) seem very intrigued by the chicks and pumpkins!
